Do you prefer one or the other? I found I liked the book a lot more.
The book is much more thoughtful and explores different ideas.
The animal subplot is especially interesting.
Mercerism, Buster Friendly, the fake police station, all missing from the movie.
My only criticism of the book is that the movie made the androids more likable and capable.
The final battle with Roy Baty in the book is something like this:
Roy prepares a trap, but it has no effect.
Roy shoots Decard twice, missing both times.
Decard shoots Roy, killing him.
The "Tears in rain" scene is of course iconic, but the epilogue with Decard finding a robotic frog in the wasteland is awesome as well (reminded me of some scenes from Blade Runner 2049).
